I want to split up a map into an array of maps. For example, if there is a map with 25 key/value pairs. I want an array of maps with no more than 10 elements in each map.

How would I do this in groovy?

I have a solution which I am not excited about, is there better groovy version:

  static def splitMap(m, count){
    if (!m) return

    def keys = m.keySet().toList()
    def result = []
    def num = Math.ceil(m?.size() / count)
    (1..num).each {
      def min = (it - 1) * count
      def max = it * count > keys.size() ? keys.size() - 1 : it * count - 1
      result[it - 1] = [:]
      keys[min..max].each {k ->
        result[it - 1][k] = m[k]
      }
    }
    result
  }

m is the map. Count is the max number of elements within the map.
